War Room Lounge v67: Is Australia Real?

[Sketch]

Do human girls want to fart on you regularly? Is that part of the game of action?

Note: Please do not ask me the same question.

Tu quoque is not allowed, nor I know you are, but what am I.

My girl doesn’t fart or shit I wouldn’t know.

 

[Sketch]

Either way....

 

[LMP]

Thought you was one of us.

@Sketch is Canadian, so it's not his problem.

 

[LMP]

I just live in Canada, I’m American at heart and everyone knows this. I identify as American.

So... I love my city and I love my country, but the scum on this forum have me considering taking up an offer to marry someone for EU citizenship. I think the next election will dictate my choice.

lol.

We all know there has never been such an offer.

@Lord Coke appears to be the first charge under the bump stock ban

Made threatening statements to the George Bush foundation. Cops raised his place and four an AR with a slide fire stock, and some 100 drum magazines. Drum mags obviously aren't illegal, but I can't imagine you would want to use anything else with a bump fire even if they are prone to jamming. Looks like the bump stock charge is officially a felony "possession of a machine gun"

Mr. Dhingra faces four felony gun charges, including possession of the bump stock, possession of firearms and ammunition by someone who had been committed to a mental institution, and two counts of making false statements about his mental health history when he bought the guns from Houston-area dealers.

Federal agents interviewed Mr. Dhingra’s mother on Aug. 16. She said that he had schizophrenia and that he had been committed to a mental health facility 14 years ago. But she said Mr. Dhingra believed he was “more intelligent than the doctors” and rejected their diagnosis, according to the affidavit.

Mr. Dhingra’s mother and brother told federal agents that Mr. Dhingra refuses to take his medication. The agents found bumper stickers on Mr. Dhingra’s car that said “My community of Houston Texas USA chose to bully me — a somewhat autistic person, who was molested and raped since the age of 8” and “White Christians are cowards. Put bullets in my head cowards.”

This ought to be better and easier imo,

I'm too busy with work right now to give a thoughtful, measured response (and when you think of thoughtful and measured, think of me) but I'll get back to you. The evolution of language and the sociological ramifications of it is an interesting subject. Your point about commonly accepted idiomatic phrases was a good one and got me thinking, because I usually grind my teeth at the butchering of what I perceive as "proper English" here in the age of twitter. Going past minor annoyances, that put me on a train of thought about the power of words and their ability to mobilize people into tribalistic factions, a pretty war roomy subject for sure.

Anyway, back to my e-mails and messages and texts and shit, gotta make some money, be back later.

Friendly reminder.

While they argue members of their tribe have done nothing wrong after getting caught doing 125mph in a 20mph school zone.

Our politics are obviously in a really bad place but one of the worst things to develop (or worsen) during my lifetime is the weaponization of politics. Politics were always dirty and history is filled with examples of corruption but the stuff William Barr, Mitch McConnell, etc. are doing seem especially dangerous. Barr isn't even secretive about squashing investigations into Trump & co. and starting investigations against political opposition. I knew the GOP is trash but I never saw this coming (using DOJ as a political weapon). I guess I was naive.

2 or 3 years ago when I said Trump would be far worse for thr country and leave a far worse legacy than almost anyone anticipated, this is partly what I was referring to. Filling the administration with similarly corrupt but also far more knowledgeable about the system than Trump himself can only have very serious negative, long-term consequences.

unfortunately we have many dumbasses in this country, who can't look past simple differences, be it race, religion, ethnic background etc.

Obama was a double dip in that regard.

he was Black, and had a Muslim name.

Not saying that these were the primary reasons why people didn't like him, but it certainly gave simpletons ample reason to hate him.

Maybe that's not what you are saying, but it is precisely what I was saying. People right here in the WR said as much.

And I'm still waiting. Or have you reformed so it's moot? I don't think I've seen you use that throw away epithet for a couple of days. I would accept that instead.

pls no bully

We must stop culture appropriation. I'm sure you understand.

The most lasting and irreversible consequence of Trump is what I've referred to as the bell that can't be unrung: Republicans, and unscrupulous politicians generally, now know that they can get away with WAY more than they previously thought. And they can retain support. All they have to do is plow ahead and refuse to admit they were wrong or that they ever did anything improper.

Realizing that Republican voters have no actual standards for office and merely retain standards for leadership (which happen to be really childish and destructive) opens the door for corruption and dishonesty.

True. On the other hand, the largest part of my negative reaction to Trump's election was concern about how it would spill over to this country. Economically, Trump helped us a lot whether he intended to or not, so he's done us a lot of good in the short term, but politically, that disease is infecting Canada now too and although it's somewhat muted in comparison to the US, it's growing more virulent. Some Canadians in here just do it for kayfabe, but there are a lot who see Trump's "success" as a good thing and want to follow in his footsteps. It's depressingly predictable.

The virus is also spreading kind of strongly in Europe and in South America. It may not even be the US which kicks off the next big storm. We're uniquely equipped to deal with these sorts of problems (and sort of by extension, Canada is too), while many other nations susceptible to fascism are not. Maybe the most important thing geopolitically (beyond the world going into another huge recession over trade instability) is the potential breakup of the EU, which I think would more likely than not start a world war as fascism rushes in to fill the space. The consequences of Trumpism are real and global. While it's going to be a difficult thing for the US to get through, it will probably be a lot worse elsewhere.

Yea, at first I stayed the same weight cause my appetite increased and I just ate more. Now that’s gone back to normal and I keep losing lbs. I feel like it’s gotta stop at some point.

Personally, depending on how vigurous my work outs are and how much (and what types) of food I eat I fluctuate anywhere between 172 and 179.

I need to find a better balance.

I attempted the Renaissance Periodization "massing" diet and ended up dropping 12 pounds....the reverse of the desired effect
